If you love a Greek Salad, then you'll love this sandwich. Crisp Romaine lettuce, tomatoes, cucumbers, kalamata olives, feta cheese and red onion on ciabatta bread with a touch of oil and red wine vinegar.

Some of you have been asking me for more sandwich recipes to pack up for work, school or to eat on the road. This is a great sandwich, it's meatless but has plenty of flavor from the olives and feta. You can even add some sun dried tomatoes.

In a small bowl whisk red wine vinegar, and olive oil, season with salt and pepper. Add chopped olives and red onions set aside. I like to add the onions to the vinegar, this mellows out the sharpness of the onion, but completely optional.

Spread the olive mixture on 4 slices bread. Top with lettuce, cucumber, tomatoes, and red onion; season with salt and pepper. Top with feta, close and cut sandwich in half.

whenever I make a greek vinaigrette I add a splash of lemon juice to the red wine vinegar and olive oil / salt and pepper blend and some dried oregano. It just adds a little more depth of flavor to the dressing without extra points.

This sounds super delicious, but I bet it would be a lot more satisfying with a slice of roasted red pepper - I love them in my veggie sandwiches because they make them more filling without too many more calories!

I know you are a Trader Joes's shopper and I was very much looking forward to trying their new greek feta dressing but was disappointed about the amount of fat in it. This is a great way to have that greek dressing taste without all the fat. And, I LOVE LOVE ciabatta.

I love love Reubens, but they leave much to be desired as far as calories/fat go. Also, my mother-in-law makes an awesome chicken salad recipe with dried cranberries and plain almonds. It's so perfect - adds a little tartness and some crunch!

I just had (a slightly modified) version for lunch and it was INCREDIBLE!! I normally wouldn't comment since I did modify it (I don't like olives so I left them out and used some sliced roasted red peppers instead, I also used slightly less vinegar), but vegetarian sandwiches are hard to find. This was SOOOO good and pretty unique! Thanks so much for an amazing new lunch recipe! This is a keeper for sure!

I made the Greek Salad Sandwich today, but instead of using bread I made them into lettuce wraps. I also decreased the oil to just 1 tsp and increased the red onion and tomato slightly. It was really nice. My son, who usually doesn't like olives, even said it was "surprisingly good." :)

Your instructions are VERY confusing!! So, the red onion is added to the olives & spices & oil, yes? But then at the end you say "top with onion"...so top with additional onion?? Because i assume the olives & onions have been added with the spice/oil mix already, yes?

& just out of curiosity: why are you cutting the sandwich in half again? so, you will actually end up with 8 mini sandwiches then, correct?
